[Music] gentleman welcome to practical spirituality here in Asia tour in the old city of jerusalem overlooking the western wall who created God who created western wall who created God who created God when so I get kids asking that question who create a garden every once in a while I get an adult asking that question for example my friend in the front row who who said well you know we can work out that we were all created and everything you can look at came from you know the tree came from the seed and and you came from the seed and we can go all the way back that way so maybe you know who created God and the answer to that is that that when you asked the that is that that when you asked the very question of who created something requires there to be something when we're talking about God we're talking about nothing thank you James we're equally at the same time talking about everything but you're going way more Kabbalistic than I am right now I'm building slow for sure the nothing's everything but that's way that's way down this logic way down the logic now meaning down that it's gonna be way meaning down that it's gonna be way further along so so god is not a thing and this is just on a practical level this is why it's a couple things are ridiculous like for example religions making a big deal about God religions being religions making a big deal about God is is you know like it's not a thing to be making a big deal out of it doesn't make sense to have your gratitude towards it yes for sure but
